MathTools for Teachers, 4-6: A Staff Development Program for Grade Teachers

这项为期三年的计划将为四至六年级的教师制作一系列的员工发展研讨会和教师进修材料。在芝加哥大学成功的“K-3教师数学工具”项目的基础上，工作人员将设计教师培训材料，以发展算术和几何的数学结构与学校课程之间的联系。将强调数学应用。学生习题集的范例将被开发并通过材料介绍给教师。为工作人员发展领导人举办的一系列讲习班将作为实施研讨会的试点地点。项目计划中包括对研讨会成效的评价。费用分摊由芝加哥大学、阿莫科基金会、福特汽车公司、当地学区和COMAP提供，作为NSF奖项的66%。

This three-year project will produce a series of staff development seminars and teachers enhancement materials for teachers in grades four through six. Building on the successful "MathTools for Teachers K-3" project at the University of Chicago, the staff will design teacher enhancement materials to develop the connections between the mathematical structures of arithmetic and geometry and the school curriculum. Mathematical applications will be emphasized. Exemplar student problem sets will be developed and introduced to teachers through the materials. A series of workshops for staff development leaders will serve as pilot sites for the implementation of the seminar. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the seminars is included in the project plan. Cost sharing is provided by the University of Chicago, the Amoco Foundation, the Ford Motor Company, local school districts, and COMAP as 66% of the NSF award.
